TITLE: CHOCOLATE ME!AUTHOR: TAYE DIGGS
ILLUSTRATOR: SHANE W. EVANS
DESCRIPTION: A brown skinned wonder of a boy comes to terms with who he is and what makes him so special!
WHY I LIKE THIS BOOK: For those who need encouragement to love the skin you’re in this book is for you! Taye Diggs’ masterful collaboration with his good friend Shane W. Evans is nothing short of fantastic and right on time for young egos pressed each day to justify their worth and right to be. We have many examples of the subtle and not so subtle cruelty of young children who often lack the filters to see differences for their worth. Diggs true story of his mother’s wisdom and the strength it gave him to endure is full of love, joy and triumph. In this book we have a tremendous yet simple tool to advance clarifying discussions with children and youth about the value of all hues and skin tones no matter their degree of dark or light. This is truly a book for the ages with healing and encouragement for a world desperately in need of both!
